Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The process of wastewater treatment ensures the preservation of safe and reliable water resources and is, consequently, indispensable for safeguarding public health, environmental integrity, and global economic stability as well as fostering pathways towards sustainable development. Biological technologies have long been integral to wastewater treatment and have become intertwined with considerations of treatment efficacy, financial investment, energy requirements, operational flexibility, and environmental impact. Recent efforts have focused on exploring novel biological technologies to enhance wastewater treatment; however, the challenge lies in reconciling treatment effectiveness with sustainable development goals to eliminate contaminants from wastewater, utilize renewable energy sources, and adhere to increasingly stringent regulatory standards.
This Special Issue of Water aims to disseminate cutting-edge research on the contemporary application of biological technologies in wastewater treatment and, by doing so, seeks to boost the performance of wastewater treatment while simultaneously reducing costs through potential nutrient and/or energy recovery. Authors are encouraged to contribute original research and new insights on advances in this important field.

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Water is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
